In our Mt Lofty TEAMS competition for the Toyota Good 4 Footy Raffle, the U13 Girls are still leading with $685 worth of ticket sales so far, but the U16 Boys team is making a late charge with $310 worth of ticket sales.
Can the U16 Boys beat the U13 Girls? Can the U15 Girls make a comeback (still sitting on $190 in sales)? Can another team challenge for the prize?
The team that raises the most money in the Good 4 Footy Raffle using their unique link (see below), will win a $200 voucher to spend at the Aldgate Pump Hotel.
In addition, all money raised goes towards our new digital scoreboard AND you could win a car!
It’s a HUGE weekend for the Devils, with our Senior Women playing a semi final, our U17 Girls playing an elimination final and our Moddies teams playing their last round of the season.
Meanwhile, it’s round 16 for our Mens and HFL Juniors teams who are away at Echunga on Saturday.
There is some action at Arkaba Oval on Friday night, with our U11 Whites playing at 6pm, our U11 Reds playing at 7pm, and our U15 Girls playing at 8pm.
What an amazing day for Reunion Round! We hope you had a great day. We sure did! See you next year Devs! A special shout out to Haydn, Jill and the Lofty Legends Group that put on the day!
Congratulations to our three Devils Winnie Thornquest, Phoebe Neck and Keira May, who had a great week away with the State team this week.
Their team made their way to Albury Wodonga to compete in the Championships, where they finished equal second with Western Australia behind Queensland.
Well done on your achievements girls! Looking forward to seeing what your future holds.
We would like to welcome to Arkaba Oval members of the Wissell family who are representing deceased Life Members of our foundation clubs and are doing us the honour of tossing the Life Member coin for this very important match against Lobethal.
Welcome to Shane and Kirsten Wissell and their sons James and Harry, James is wearing our current Mt. Lofty jumper and Harry is wearing his Pop’s, Brian, original Aldgate Football club jumper. These boys are the 5th generation Wissell’s to play for Mt. Lofty and its foundation clubs.
Shane’s great grandfather Jim Wissell was the first-generation Wissell to play for the Aldgate Football Club, commencing playing in 1901 and taking on many roles until the 1930’s. Jim holds life membership of the Aldgate Football Club.
Shane’s grandfather Harold ‘Chicken’ Wissell was the second generation of Wissell’s to play at Aldgate and was also honoured with Life Membership, playing and filling different roles from the 1930’s through to the 1950’s, he was an A Grade premiership player in 1934 and was the first President of the current Hills Football league.
Then came Brian ‘Woop’ Wissell as the 3rd generation to play and volunteer support in many roles from the late 1940’s until 2009, winning the A grade B&F in 1957. Brian was involved with Aldgate, HAU and Mt. Lofty and is a Life Member of the Aldgate Football Club.
Shane and his brothers Craig and David also played for HAU and then Mt. Lofty Football clubs and became the 4th generation of Wissell’s to add their flair to our club’s history with Shane winning back-to-back SAFA medals in the U16 competition in ‘84 & ‘85 and runner up in the ‘91 A grade mail Medal. The family history of playing and support now spans 121 years with James and Harry Wissell starting their playing in the Candy Stripes at the age of six in our Auskick program.
This family sits in rarefied atmosphere when it comes to support of our club and community, and we look forward to the Wissell tradition continuing at our great club.
